That’s not correct Henrik. CRAN follows CRAN rules for installing packages, so uses tools:::BioC_version_for_R_version(). For R-devel we have
> R.version.string [1] "R Under development (unstable) (2021-05-18 r80323)" > tools:::.BioC_version_associated_with_R_version() [1] '3.13' For this version of Bioconductor, the rtracklayer version (from https://bioconductor.org/packages/3.13/rtracklayer, or `available.packages(repos = "https://bioconductor.org/packages/3.13/bioc";)["rtracklayer", "Version"]`) is 1.51.5. So the r-devel-windows-ix86+x86_64 builder mentioned in the post has the wrong version of rtracklayer for R-devel.

In other words, even if they fix it in Bioconductor 3.13 (for R 4.1.0), it can't be fixed in Bioconductor 3.12 (for R 4.0.0), so you're package will keep failing on Windows for R 4.0.0. The reason why it can't be fixed in Bioconductor 3.12 is that they have now frozen that release forever. Because of this, I suspect the only solution is to make 'rtracklayer' an optional package, i.e. move it to Suggests: and update all your code to run conditionally of that package being available. I recommend you reach out to the bioc-devel mailing list for advice. /Henrik On Tue, May 18, 2021 at 4:33 AM Dalgleish, James (NIH/NCI) [F] via R-package-devel <r-package-devel@r-project.org> wrote: > > To any who might have an idea: > > I've been reading several posts in the digest about dependency version issues on the check servers and I'm having my own issue, which I can't solve because I can't upgrade the check server's package version: > * installing *source* package 'CNVScope' ... > ** using staged installation > ** R > ** data > *** moving datasets to lazyload DB > ** inst > ** byte-compile and prepare package for lazy loading > Warning: multiple methods tables found for 'export' > Error in loadNamespace(j <- i[[1L]], c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[j]]) : > namespace 'rtracklayer' 1.48.0 is already loaded, but >= 1.51.5 is required > Calls: <Anonymous> ... namespaceImportFrom -> asNamespace -> loadNamespace > Execution halted > ERROR: lazy loading failed for package 'CNVScope' > * removing 'd:/RCompile/CRANguest/R-devel/lib/CNVScope' > > These errors tend to be check server dependent (only occurs on r-devel-windows-ix86+x86_64<https://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_flavors.html#r-devel-windows-ix86_x86_64>) and I'm just trying to make the small change to closeAllConnections() that was asked earlier of maintainers by Kurt Hornik and the CRAN team, but I can't because of this old package version on the devel check server, which has the same error: > https://win-builder.r-project.org/incoming_pretest/CNVScope_3.5.7_20210518_062953/Windows/00check.log > https://win-builder.r-project.org/incoming_pretest/CNVScope_3.5.7_20210518_062953/Windows/00install.out > > Is there any way around this?
